A drift car is an onroad with drifting tires, you can also lock the diffs with some playdough, this way its not permanent on you can race on road also.  I bought some plastic tires for drifting to try it out.

well you can drift any car yes... but i was thinking about a car that has good weight distribution with equal weight distribution to the left and right in mind.. You'll find most drifters will add a lot of weight to the front bumper so that the front tires will be pushed down and grip more than the rear, and also to give a point for the rear of the car to swing around. somthing with the motor up in front of the car so you dont have to use weights in the front

I want to know??? Yeah Eddie, here comes another hair brained thought! (lol). I would love to be able to convert my RXT-1 into a monster truck, then back to a truggy as I please. Can I buy MXT wheels, or any Redcat racing wheels, and a 1/8th scale aftermarket body. The plan I had was to remove the wing, and the wingbrace mounts, and cut down the uprightsthat the wing mounts bolt to. Order me a new back support plate that I just sawed off. Will this work??

ehroof

You could buy the rancho wheels and tires, remove the wing mounts and get a rancho body, would work but I would keep it a truggy bro, much more stable when its lower to the ground.

sick6stang

Yeah I like the handeling of the truggy the way it is, I just like to be able to pull out a monster truck if I wanted to. And I grew fond of taking the RXT-1 apart. I see the Rancho is a 2 speed, for something to do, what all do I need to change that?. A transmission, a new center differential, bell gear? I am going to make a Himoto that transforms from a Monster Basher, into a awesome Truggy!! LOL

ehroof

The rancho is a single speed, has a single speed trans. 

sick6stang

Oh!! Well I have to ask, does it really run 85mph? and if so, is all Ihave to do is change the gears to get that out of the truggy. See we run as a group and we do different things with them. I dont mind setting up the RXT for what ever we are going to do next. It all depends on whos house we go to as to what we do.

ehroof

no, never 85mph, maybe 50 mph, most of the speed claims are way out of line.

How about an alluminum upgrade kit with all of the parts for a discounted price? Or a completely upgraded car? I have 2 Syclones and have bought most of the aluminum upgrades from redcat, rufaster, and xenon project and my 2 cars are nearly unbreakable now. I now need to get my younger son a car and dread having to piece all of the upgrades together again.

ehroof

We used to offer an upgraded version but they werent good sellers so we quit.  We have all the parts here, stocked in the US so you can use himoto parts on your himoto!!

firebird78

keep thinkin that...lol....you will learn what I'm saying soon enuff...if you run them at all that is..lol

muratt2007

Will himoto come up with a 1/10 crawler ? others do have but when are we going to see a himoto branded 2.2 crawler ?

sick6stang

muratt2007check out the thread I started called 2010 Himoto Racing Catalog. That has all the cars, truck, buggies, truggies, helis and much more. I know there are at least three types or rock crushers. I really did not pay that close attention to them. But check out the new catalog.

sick6stang

Himoto has three Rock Crushers. 1:8 part# H14880, 1:10 part# RCT-1, 1:10 part# RCF-1, 1:18 part# MRC-18. The RCF-1 would be the best 1:10th model to go with. The bodies are pretty bad ass for this one also. Comes with a 24ghz controller too.

the emxt-1's wheels are too big, lol, i mean, isnt the chasis supposed to touch the ground to protect the linkages like a-arms and driveshafts when the suspension buttom out? i always find myself bending the drive axles from hard landing; im gonna find some smaller wheels for the emxt-1 lol

HardIce

it would be nice if we had a knowledge base where anyone (me newbe for example) could go to to read and learn of all things RC, I have been looking all over on the web to try and get more understanding about servos, lipos, balancers, etc... it's to easy to get the wrong info on the web also..

thanks guy's and gal's

Here will be a good guide on how to understand Lipo batteries, and will help with regular batteries too.

HardIce

ehroof

That much is true

Hello ;-)

I have a question about you Brushless Monstertruck, the EXMT-1, i bought one @ ebay and i like this car, i want to know if i can power the car on 3S Lipo´s, i´ve got the brushless-set from himoto with the 60A(or 75A in the manual) ampere ESC and the 3300KV motor (03307 60A Sensored Brushless speed control + 03302 Brushless Motor KV), my spurgear is also made of steel, i hope i can power this car on 3S Lipo´s with 4000-5000mAh...

Sorry for my poor english (i´m from austria ),thanks for your answers,

best wishes, ringl

ehroof

you can use 11.1, i have with success but i recommend using a 7.4 to be safe.

ringl

Thanks, i´ve got a 7,4V-Lipo (4000mAh/25C) and this car is going real good with it, but im looking forward to get hands on a 11,1V-pack just for fun in some time and it would be a little disapointing if i can´t get it to run with the car.  11,1,V-Lipos aren´t really cheap here and i don´t want to spent senseless some bucks  for it, so thanks a lot for your fast support dude    Also a nice step-up to think about would maybe be an 9,9V-LiFe Akkupack, but i don´t know much about this sort of Cells at the moment ....

Big thanks,

best wishes and keep on racing,

ringl

Anyone knows what's the pitch of the pinion and spur on the rwd 1/10 brushless Mega E buggy? It looks like the motor has a 5mm shaft. I was looking for pinions with more than 23t. Also what options do I have with aftermarket wheels? I am pretty impressed with this buggy for the price.
